Winning Her Heart back (Emelie and William)

Chapter 36 I Agree
Troy marched out of the room and began telling the guests downstairs, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have an important
announcement to make! Eme-”
Emelie clung onto the door frame with all her might before flinging Troy’s hand away.
Troy instantly fell on his ass out in the hallway. The guests downstairs quickly peered up to see what was
going on.
Emelie swiftly retreated further behind the door so none of the guests could see her. After composing herself, she snapped
quickly, “That’s enough, Mr. Troy!”
She continued, “Neither of us knows one another very well, so marriage is out of the question! I don’t want to marry you, nor am I
interested in you. If you’re still confused about how I feel, I can repeat myself to all your guests out there right now.”
Emelie’s words were undermining the Spencer family’s pride.
Troy scrambled up from the floor, reaching out to grab her. But Emelie swiftly dodged him, only to end up bumping into someone
behind her. She turned around.
William quickly stood in front of Emelie and said to Troy, “Don’t you think you’ve embarrassed yourself
enough?”
Henry sneered. “Wasn’t Emelie beneath you? Why does her marriage concern you then?”
Troy grumbled, “Exactly! Didn’t you say you want to marry Daphne? Let me marry Emelie, then! With one
for each of us, we’d be even!”
At the mention of “One for each of us,” Emelie swallowed and asked uncomfortably, “What do you take me for, Mr. Troy? A piece
of meat?”
“Hey!” Troy was about to argue with her when William cut in.
“Go on then. Let everyone hear about how you’ve been rejected by a woman.”

Troy was still upset. William shot Emelie a look before glancing at his father. “I may not want her as a
wife, but she’s still mine. I get a say over who or when she marries for the rest of her life.”
William’s words felt like a threat of imprisonment to Emelle, which was a worse fate than having her marriage decided for her.
She quipped, “If I remember correctly, my contract with Cloudex Corporation was for three years of employment only, not to sell
my soul to you. Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Middleton.”
Emelie couldn’t stay there anymore.
She made sure to save her pride by saying, “Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party, Mr. Troy. I haven’t properly wished
you a happy birthday yet.”
“You...” Troy began saying.
Emelie quickly clarified herself. “We made it clear that things would be even between us if I attended your
party tonight, which I did. Now that we’re even, I’ll be leaving Goodbye.”
She then sidestepped William and walked downstairs, ignoring Troy’s outstretched hand.
Emelle ignored the other guests‘ curious looks and left the Spencer residence right away. She then put on. her coat and got into
the nearest taxi by the road.
The driver soon left the area once Emelie told him her apartment’s location. The Spencer residence quickly disappeared from
view
Only then was Emelie able to heave a long sigh. She closed her eyes and calmed herself down.
William’s words echoed in her mind-“Her? She’s beneath me.”
Even though she’d long lost faith in him, she’d still felt pain when she heard him say that. All of a sudden, Emelie realized why
William had behaved the w
